Squad depthCreative Attacking midfielder

N. Eliasson is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at AEK Athens FC, rated 19.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 182nd of 266 on scout potential in the Super League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.35 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Eliasson.

Judged on this season alone, Eliasson graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 24 of the 24 attacking midfielders in the Super League 1, on 0 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances (0.352 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 14th of 24 of the 24 attacking midfielders in the Super League 1. At 30 Eliasson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

0 goals in 18 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.17 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.7, Eliasson carries the 14th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League 1 of 24 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
